1. Not sure on home birth or hospital birth 2. Don’t have a budget yet 3. Need to find midwife and doula

A doula that can help me towards my goal of a natural unmediated birth with my four child while being high risk. Due to high risk possibilities of being induced between 36/38 weeks unless needed to be done sooner. Someone who is easy to get along with and I am comfortable with. And can also help me stand up for what I want while still being safe.

I plan on having a hospital birth but with as little medications as possible. As close to natural as my body can handle, but in a setting where i have the option and opportunity to change my mind up until the last minute. I want someone able to provide that extra step of care, the nurturing and caring side of pregnancy that is a little less common in a medical setting. My budget is currently still being decided upon but I do have a bit of flexibility in that area.
